Merle Haggard
"It's Been A Great Afternoon"


Last night we had a hell raisin' time,
Nippin' on tequila and suckin' on limes.
Sunrise chased the good time away,
Good morning would have been the wrong thing to say.
'Cause the poundin' in the top of my head,
Hey, didn't leave me any too soon.
Can't say we've had a good morning,
No, but babe it's been a great afternoon.
You nursed me through the morning, honey,
While I was really down.
Then one rowdy afternooner,
Got me up and around.
Yes, last night we had one hell raisin' time.
But today won't be forgotten too soon.
Can't say we've had a good morning,
No, but babe it's been a great afternoon, yes!

Yes sir!

Instrumental break.

Oh ho.

You nursed me through the morning, honey,
While I was really down.
Then one rowdy afternooner,
Got me up and around.
Yes, last night we had one hell raisin' time.
But today can't be forgotten too soon.
Can't say we've had a good morning,
No, but babe it's been a great afternoon

Oh Yes!
